Adi Shankar and Phil Joanou are the makers of the phenomenal (and unofficial) Punisher short "Laundry Day," which starred Thomas Jane himself. Now they're back with True Blood star Ryan Kwanten as Eddie Brock in a fantastic 17-minute short better than the entirety of Spider-Man 3, titled "Truth in Advertising."

The short's conceit, that a young French film crew is following Brock around after the Daily Bugle fiasco that got him fired (in black and white, no less!), is a little weird, but it's more than made up for by Kwanten's pitch-perfect performance as Brock. Seriously, I know this is unofficial, but hey Marc Webb — if you decide to use Venom as the villain in Amazing Spider-Man 3 (or, god forbid, add him to Amazing Spider-Man 2 with its other 5,000 villains) we vote Kwanten.
